Chronomite SR-15 SR Series 3.6 kW Point-of-Use Electric Tankless Review
The Chronomite SR-15 is a 3.6 kW point-of-use electric tankless water heater. Sized between the smaller SR-10 (2.4 kW) and larger SR-20 (4.8 kW) in Chronomite's SR commercial point-of-use line.
Specs: 3.6 kW, single 25A double-pole breaker at 240V, 0.5 GPM at a 40°F rise. Brass commercial-grade construction. Patented Thermal Anticipation modulation.
The SR-15 capacity covers commercial single-fixture handwash applications with moderate demand. About $480 unit, $750 installed. 3-year warranty.
Right buyer: light commercial single-fixture install where commercial-grade brass construction matters over consumer-grade alternatives. For residential, EcoSmart POU 6 ($200) delivers similar specs at lower price.
